DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Embodiments of the present disclosure include apparatuses and methods for a stacked lighting emitting diode (LED) hologram display. A stacked LED hologram display can include a first array of LEDs that are configured to emit red light received by a meta-optics panel configured to display a first portion of a holographic image, a second array of LEDs that are configured to emit green light received by a meta-optics panel configured to display a second portion of a holographic image, and a third array of LEDs that are configured to emit blue light received by a meta-optics panel configured to display a third portion of a holographic image. The first, second, third arrays of LEDs can be configured to emit light on a number of meta-optics panels configured to produce (e.g., display) a holographic image (e.g., by shaping and enhancing the light emitted by the arrays). A pixel of the stacked LED display can comprise an LED from the first array, an LED from the second array, and an LED from the third array that are in a common row and column position of their respective array. For example, a pixel can be comprised of an LED in the first column and eight row of the first array, an LED in the first column and eight row of the second array, and an LED in the first column and eight row of the third array.

In a number of embodiments, the stacked LED hologram display can include a number of actuators configured to adjust a position of a first array of LEDs in a first direction (e.g., x direction) and a second direction orthogonal to the first direction (e.g., y direction), adjust a position of a second array of LEDs in the first direction and the second direction, and adjust a position of a third array of LEDs in the first direction and the second direction. The actuators can be configured to adjust the position of the arrays of LEDs in the first direction and the second direction to control a packing scheme of the pixels of the display. A packing scheme can refer to the position of the LEDs of a pixel relative to each other in the first direction and the second direction. For example, a pixel comprising a red LED, a green LED, and a blue LED can have a packing scheme where the LEDs completely overlap each other, partially overlap each other, and/or do not overlap each other. The position of the first array of LEDs in the first and second directions can allow the first array to emit light on a first meta-optics panel configured to produce a first portion of a holographic image. The position of the second array of LEDs in the first and second directions can allow the second array to emit light on a second meta-optics panel configured to produce a second portion of a holographic image. The position of the third array of LEDs in the first and second directions can allow the third array to emit light on a third meta-optics panel configured to produce a third portion of a holographic image.

In a number of embodiments, the stacked LED hologram display can include a number of actuators configured to adjust a position of each LED of a first array of LEDs in a first direction (e.g., x direction) and second direction (e.g., y direction) and an angle of rotation (α) around the x-axis, an angle of rotation (β) around the y-axis, and an angle of rotation (γ) around the z-axis. The number of actuators can adjust a position of each LED of a second array of LEDs in the first direction and the second direction and an angle of rotation (α) around the x-axis, an angle of rotation (β) around the y-axis, and an angle of rotation (γ) around the z-axis. The number of actuators can adjust a position of each LED of a third array of LEDs in the first direction and the second direction and an angle of rotation (α) around the x-axis, an angle of rotation (β) around the y-axis, and an angle of rotation (γ) around the z-axis. The actuators can be configured to adjust the position of the arrays of LEDs in the first direction and second direction to control a packing scheme of the pixels of the display and/or an angle at which light emitted from the LED arrays is received by a meta-optics panel. A packing scheme can refer to the position of the LEDs of a pixel relative to each other in the first direction and second direction. For example, a pixel comprising a red LED, a green LED, and a blue LED can have a packing scheme where the LEDs completely overlap each other, partially overlap each other, and/or do not overlap each other. The position of the LEDs in the first array of LEDs in the first and second directions and angles of rotation around the x, y, and z axes can allow the first array to emit light on a meta-optics panel configured to produce a first portion (e.g., red light) of a holographic image. The position of the LEDs in the second array of LEDs in the first and second directions and angles of rotation around the x, y, and z axes can allow the second array to emit light on the meta-optics panel configured to produce a second portion (e.g., green light) of the holographic image. The position of the LEDs in the third array of LEDs in the first and second directions and angles of rotation around the x, y, and z axes can allow the third array to emit light on the meta-optics panel configured to produce a third portion (e.g., blue light) of the holographic image.

In a number of embodiments, each of the LEDs in the stack of LED arrays can be individually controlled, activated, and deactivated. The LEDs can be individually controlled, activated, and deactivated to control power consumption of the device and/or control the intensity of the light emitted from each of the LEDs.

FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram a stacked light emitting diode (LED) display 100 in accordance with a number of embodiments of the present disclosure. Display 100 includes controller 110 (e.g., a processor, control circuitry, hardware, firmware, and/or software), a first array of LEDs 104-1, a second array of LEDs 104-2, a third array of LEDs 104-3, a first meta-optics panel 106-1, a second meta-optics panel 106-2, and a third meta-optics panel 106-3. First array 104-1, second array 104-2, and third array 104-3 can be configured in a stack and can be parallel to each other. For example, array 104-3 can be on top of array 104-2 and array 104-2 can be on top of array 104-1. First meta-optics panel 106-1 can be positioned between array 104-1 and 104-2 and be configured to receive light from array 104-1, second meta-optics panel 106-2 can be positioned between array 104-2 and 104-3 and be configured to received light from array 104-2, and third meta-optics panel 106-3 can be positioned above array 104-3 and be configured to receive light from array 104-3. A number of embodiments, can include one meta-optics panel 106 that is positioned above array 104-3 and is configured to receive light from array 104-1, 104-2, and 104-3.

First array 104-1, second array 104-2, and third array 104-3 can be micro-LED arrays, where each micro-LED can be controlled and provides light for a pixel of display 100. First array 104-1 can be configured to emit red light, second array 104-2 can be configured to emit green light, and third array 104-3 can be configured to emit blue light, such that display 100 produces an image (e.g., a holographic image in a red green blue (RGB) format).

The display 100 may be a television display, a computer monitor display, and/or a touchscreen display of a mobile device, such as a smartphone, for example and be configured to display a holographic image (e.g., hologram). The controller 110 can be communicatively coupled to the LED arrays 104-1, 104-2, and 104-3 of display 100. As used herein, “communicatively coupled” can include coupled via various wired and/or wireless connections between devices such that data can be transferred in various directions between the devices. The coupling need not be a direct connection, and in some examples, can be an indirect connection. Controller 110 can include hardware, firmware, and/or software to control the LED arrays 104-1, 104-2, and 104-3 of display 100. Controller 110 can send signals to arrays 104-1, 104-2, and 104-3 to activate and/or deactivate the LEDs. LED arrays 104-1, 104-2, and 104-3 can include circuitry and electrodes such that each LED is controllable (e.g., addressable) by controller 110. Controller 110 can individually activate and/or deactivate each LED of arrays 104-1, 104-2, and 104-3.

In a number of embodiments, display 100 can received inputs from a camera, a computer, and/or an internet of things (IoT) device, among other input devices, to produce a holographic image. For example, a camera used during a medical procedure can provide an input to display 100 such that a holographic image of the portion of the body and medical instruments used during the medical procedure are displayed. Display 100 could also receive inputs to display holographic images that could provide instructions for assembling and/or fixing objects, a 3 dimensional view when arranging objects, and/or a 3-dimensional view indicating an inventory status (e.g., a refrigerator or pantry), among other inputs.

FIG. 2 includes display an exploded view of LED arrays 204-1, 204-2, and 204-3 and meta-optics panels 206-1, 206-2, and 206-3 of display 200. Each LED array 204-1, 204-2, and 204-3 can include a number of LEDs 205 arranged in row and columns. In FIG. 2, each LED array 204-1, 204-2, and 204-3 includes 16 LEDs arranged in 4 rows and 4 columns. LED arrays 204-1, 204-2, and 204-3 can have any number of rows and columns of LEDS and in a number of embodiments have thousands of rows and columns of LEDs. FIG. 2 includes 4 rows and 4 columns for ease of illustration.

In a number of embodiments, display 200 can include a number pixels, where an LED at a particular row and column position of each LED array 204-1, 204-2, and 204-3 comprise a pixel. For example, in FIG. 2, a pixel of display 200 comprises LED 205-1 in row 4, column 2 of array 204-1, LED 205-2 in row 4, column 2 of array 204-2, and LED 205-3 in row 4, column 2 of array 204-3. The pixel that includes LEDs 205-1, 205-2, and 205-3 can include light emitted from LEDs 205-1, 205-2, and 205-3. The pixel that includes LEDs 205-1, 205-2, and 205-3 can emit light that is part of an RGB holographic image, where LED 205-1 can be configured to emit red light, LED 205-2 can be configured to emit green light, and LED 205-3 can be configured to emit blue light.

Actuators 222-1, 224-1, 222-2, 224-2, 222-3, and 224-3 can be configured to move arrays 204-1, 204-2, and 204-3 to control the packing scheme of the LEDs of arrays 204-1, 204-2, and 204-3. The packing scheme can be the position of an LED of a pixel relative to the other LEDs of the pixel. For example, actuators 222-1 can move array 204-1 to the right such that the LEDS in array 204-1 are offset in the first direction relative to the LEDs of array 204-2 and 204-3. The packing scheme of the pixels can be controlled to control image properties of the holographic image displayed by display 200. For example, the packing scheme can be changed to control the illumination intensity, brightness, color gamut, gray level, contrast, uniformity, resolution, saturation, white balance, and/or spectral sensitivity, among other image properties, of holographic images displayed by display 200.

Meta-optics panel 206-1 can be configured to receive light from array 204-1 and be configured to display a first portion (e.g., red light) of a holographic image.
